Let Your Colors Show

It's been raining on & off for days. Everyone complains, but I don't. I like the rain. It calms me. It gives me a reason to stay in bed with loads of blankets & watch television, or listen to music. 

Sometimes the rain inspires me to do something creative. 
Most times, it just makes me lazy.

While the rain fell yesterday, I took a few photos of myself.

STARS IN MY EYES / STARS IN MY FACE

The Only Sound In My Head

Half Heart

I Feel Like I Know Her

You're Gonna Lose Your Soul, Tonight
These are probably the most  honest photos I have ever taken of myself.

(Yes, there is some partial nudity. No, I don't need anyone giving me shit about it.)

I am not particularly pretty. I do not possess that fantastical beauty that most people may have. This isn't to say I'm a monster, but lately I have been feeling so unattractive & old. Looking in the mirror only depresses me. I see all of these flaws that I have acquired throughout my 30 years of life, & instead of embracing them, I wish they would vanish into thin air.

Hopefully I will get over this feeling.

Enjoy the following songs I listened to while making this post:

Cocteau Twins / Shallow Then Hallow

Cocteau Twins / Why Do You Love Me?

Love & Rockets / This Heaven

Merenkauris: Thank you so much. That is very sweet of you to say & that made me smile.

I think you look lovely. and so mysterious, which is even better in my opinion!

thanks for mentioning The Cocteau Twins, I wanted to look them up but forgot their name and was trying to remember it for ages and asking everyone 'whats that band, something twins?'
